Sarah

For those of you that don't know, I'm not the only Sarah Reed in these parts.  In fact, my sister in-law is also Sarah Reed (and you thought your family dinners could be confusing!).  In addition to being an awesome mother, wife, sister, and friend, she teaches vocal lessons and music and is a VERY talented soprano.  She has been in the process of updating her website (check it out here and listen to her lovely voice!) and asked me if I'd be willing to take some new photos for her.  Of course, the prospect of spending an afternoon with her taking photos is something I was thrilled with and my niece Emma joined us as my photographer's assistant (and got in on the modeling action herself for a few shots). Here are a few of my favorite shots.  Love both of these beautiful ladies!

Some photos of the lovely Deb from our For the Love get together!

Love using stairs!

A little architecture? I think so!

So fun!

So what you don't know is that Deb is leaning on an
air conditioner -- you never know where you're going
to find a good background!

Wendy ~ Gainesville Portrait Photographer

Success!! Our first For the Love get together was, um, amazing! Wendy, Deb, Steph and I all met at the Starbucks in downtown Gainesville for some coffee, good friends, and good times! I have to admit, even though it was my first time meeting Deb and Steph, it felt like we were all good friends already. We all fell into chatting about photography, about life, and about fun and before long, we'd drunk our coffee and giggled our way through being on the other side of the camera. Roaming around downtown was great -- there are so many fun places to take photos in such a small area. I'll have posts with everyone's photos, but wanted to start with Wendy's. Wendy has become such a good friend this past year - I don't know what I'd do without her! She's always there to bounce ideas off of, has an infectious smile, and always sees the good (in things, in people, in life!). She's like a ray of sunshine (k... getting a bit sappy here, think I'll finish this off quick-like!). Anyways, here are some of my favorites of Wendy....

You see what I mean about that smile? You're smiling now, aren't you? You just can't help it! (Note: this yellow wall was ah-maz-ing! and matched oh, so perfectly with Wendy's outfit!)

Ooooh, show me some love!

RAWR! :)
